View Package Details

Packages are a list of logical and physical packages defined for the deployment. Items are software component parts that are to be deployed to all the deployment targets defined in the sub-environment specified in the containing deployment package. This dialog box displays detailed information about a request and the packages it contains.

See to field definitions and column definitions for information about the fields and columns in this view.

Deployment Phases

A deployment goes through the following phases:

Staging - If deployment staging has been defined, then immediately after the Request is Confirmed, the parts will be copied to the target warehouse.
Implementation - Once the Implementation Date/Time is reached for each Package, the components are implemented according to the process as defined in the Deploy Reference data. If no Activation process has been defined, then after all Packages are successfully implemented the Request status will be set to “Complete”.
Activation - If an Activation process has been defined, then once the Activation Date/Time is reached for each Package, the components are activated according to the process as defined in the Deploy Reference data. Once all Packages are successfully activated the Request status will be set to “Complete”.

Logical Package Statuses

This status is derived from the statuses of all the physical packages and can have the following values:

blank - No processes have yet been identified
Staged - All deployable parts are staged onto their respective Target systems
Implemented - This Package undergoes Activation, and the Implementation processes are complete.
Complete - All Deploy processes are complete (i.e. if both Implementation and Activation are defined then both are completed successfully. If only Implementation is required then this has completed successfully).
Failed - One or more Physical Packages has failed.

Physical Package Statuses

The physical package status is constructed of two parts:

XX:Status

where XX is a two-character representation of the process that the status relates to. Status process and their statuses are as follows:

Process	Status	Description
ST Staging	Wait Time	This status is not commonly seen for staging as there is no specific date/time constraint for the staging process. A physical package can have this status for 30 seconds or less due to the internal deploy scheduler
	Ready	All conditions have been met for the staging process to begin. This status could indicate that the target CT task is not running.
	Dispatched	CT task has been woken up to start staging
	Executing	CT task is performing the staging process
	Complete	Staging is complete
	Failed	Staging has failed
	Terminated	Indicates that the overall request was terminated for packages that were not complete or failed when the terminate was issued.
IM Implementing and AC Activating	Wait Time	Implementation is waiting on the implementation time or activation is waiting on activate time.
	Ready	All conditions have been met for the implement or activate process to begin. This status could indicate that the target CT task is not running.
	Dispatched	CT task has been woken up to start the process
	Held	Process has been started in a HELD status – option not currently supported.
	Wait External	An external process has been defined and ISPW is waiting for it to start.
	Executing	Implementation/activation is executing
	Complete	Implementation/activation process is complete
	Failed	Implementation/activation process has failed.
	Terminated	Indicates that the overall request was terminated for packages that were not complete or failed when the terminate was issued.
